Irresistible (2020) Review!!

Synopsis – A Democratic strategist helps a retired veteran run for mayor in a small, conservative Midwest town. My Take – Honestly, I have never been a fan of films based on American politics, even in the form of satires or thrillers, which is mainly due to the lack of my extensive understanding behind the policies and ideologies followed by members of the Democratic Party … Continue reading Irresistible (2020) Review!!
